Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville has been designed to run on Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows 2000 only. The game has been tested using the following 
operating systems:

  >Microsoft Windows 98
  >Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

CPU

Please note that a Pentium II 350 MHz or equivalent is required to run the game at an acceptable level.

Non Intel CPU's: 

 > AMD: It is recommended that the game is run on an AMD K6-2 450Mhz or higher to run the game at acceptable performance levels.

 > Cyrix: It is recommended that the game is run on a Cyrix MII 450 to run the game at acceptable performance levels.

Memory

64MB of system RAM is required for the game to run.

Some systems may state that they have 64MB RAM installed, however, due to certain video adapters this may not be entirely true.

Shared Video RAM: Some video adapters will allocate 2-4 MB of SYSTEM RAM to use as Video RAM. This means your system may actually 
only have 60-32 MB of SYSTEM RAM available.

Dynamically Shared Video RAM: Some Video adapters can allocate SYSTEM RAM dynamically. The amount allocated can range from 0.5MB to 8MB 
so you may have as little as 56MB of SYSTEM RAM available.


   >>>> PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HARDWARE MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS IF YOU ARE UNSURE <<<<

Video

32MB of video RAM is required to run Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville. Some older model computers may come with a video adapter that 
has less than 32MB of memory. In this situation, the game may run and appear to function correctly, however a decrease in performance will result. 

It is NOT recommended that Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville is run on Video adapters with less than 32MB.

Video Drivers:
What is a video driver?
A Video driver acts as a link between the video adapter (hardware) and the operating 
system and allows it to perform the functions requested by an application.

Manufacturers of Video adapters regularly publish new DRIVERS for their products. 
These are made available for FREE from their WEB site. 

If you are using old drivers for your Video adapter you may experience some unwanted graphical corruption while running Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville. Graphical problems can often be resolved by updating the drivers for your video adapter.

Note: Updating the Video drivers your system uses may improve performance and solve issues over a wide range of applications and games.

 >>>> PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HARDWARE MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS CONCERNING DRIVERS <<<<

CD/DVD ROM Drive

Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville requires a 4X CD-ROM Drive or greater. The faster your CD-ROM Drive the greater the rate at which data can be read from the CD. SLOWER drives will also result in longer installation times.

DVD Drives usually specify 2 numbers e.g. 6X / 32X . These two numbers are the speeds at which data from a DVD-ROM and a CD-ROM is read. Generally the second number, 32X in this case, defines the speed at which data is read from a CD. 

Sound Card

Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville requires a sound card that is fully compatible with DirectSound. This is true in most cases, however some old Legacy cards will not be compatible.

As with video adapters, updated sound card DRIVERS are regularly published by hardware manufacturers and are available for FREE from their web site.

If you experience any sound corruption or other sound related problems during game play, you should update your sound drivers. This will often solve sound related problems.


 >>>> PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HARDWARE MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS CONCERNING DRIVERS <<<<

DirectX 8

Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville requires the latest version of Microsoft's DirectX software to be installed on your system. 
The latest version of DirectX (currently DirectX 8) is supplied on the Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville CD-ROM. 
The installer will detect the current version of Direct X that is present and update it automatically if it is necessary during the installation of Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville.

For more information and the latest updates concerning Microsoft's DirectX go to:

		http://www.microsoft.com/directx/


Installation Size

Typical Installation - 485Mb free hard disk space required for installation.
Compact Installation - 178Mb free hard disk space required for installation.

* = Uncompressed Hard drive space - meaning that the hard drive has not been subjected to any form of file compression which allows the hard drive space to be increased. (For example under Windows 98 the option that would usually be used to perform this function would be DriveSpace.)

KNOWN ISSUES
------------------------------------------

Close All Other Applications

It is recommended that the player closes all other applications whilst running Universal Monsters (TM) - Monsterville. Leaving other applications running can affect the performance of the game and stop it running smoothly.

Alt+Tab Issues

It is not recommended for the player to Alt+Tab out of the game. Problems may occur on certain machines if the player attempts to Alt+Tab out of the game.
If the player MUST Alt+Tab out of the game, it is recommended that this is done from a Front End Screen and NOT whilst in the Campaign game (or Custom game) in order to reduce the chances of problems occuring.
